Obituary.

Mrs. Nellie A. Young, beloved wife of Capt, Geo.
W. Young, died at her late residence in North
Hancock, February 10. Her last hours were full
OF peace. She had been great sufferer from that
fell disease, consumption, for six month, but she
endured her extreme feebleness and severe distress
with christian patience and resignation. \ smile
of cheerfulness lighted up her pale face through
all the weary, wasting days short time before
she closed her eyes In that dreamles- sleep, she
whispered, 81 must go soon, let me kiss you all
good bye. i am ready and am happy" Mrs
Young had superior literary ability and put her
pure pleasing thoughts in prose and poetry; she
was popular correspondent Of two newspapers
and wrote until she too weak to hold her
pen. She will be missed and mourned by those
of her own family and by a large circle of admir-
Ing friends. She passed away from the sweet
home of her childhood. from the house in which
she was born; she left US in the early summer
time of life aged "A years. She departed this life
with serene joy.
Dear Nellie: Death should come
Gently to one of gentle mould like thee,
As light winds wandering thro groves OF bloom,
Detach the delicate blossoms from the tree.
Close thy sweet eyes calmly and without pain.
And we will trust in God to thee yet again"
Feb. &c. REV. J. II.

Amusement, this week.

At the Mozart Academy this week will
be presented the popular play Taken
from Life. OF this comedy the press
says
The Little Tycoon seems to have
emptied the purses Of our theatre goers.
At any rate the merits Of Taken from
Life, produced in the Music Hall last
evening deserved a larger audience than
was present 10 was the unanimous ver-
dict OF those present that Taken from
Life was probably the strongest, most ex-
citing play here this season. 10 was pre-
sented by Phosa McAllistor's dramatic
company, an able organization. Every
actor or actress performed his or her
part aeceptably. II. ;. Duilield gave
noble and manly rendition of the
poor and humble artist He is a strong
actor. Miss McAllister played for all she
was worth as Kate Denby She betrayed
the varying emotions called forth by the
play in highly creditable manner, and
pleased the audience greatly.
The Christmas week at the Theatre
will be inaugurated by the great fayorite,
Patti Rosa. who with her songs and
dances will as before, charm all hearts.
Each night from Monday to Wednesday
she gives a change Of repertoire.

causing the rails to spread. The entire
train bumped over the ties for a hundred
feet or more and then broke into sections
and plunged wildly down the steep en-
bankment on either side
One car was turned over end for end
and thrown fifty feet from the track. A
coach was turned upside down and lay
upon its roof, while the passengers were
piled together in the bottom. One sleep
er was also turned over, but the other
was left partially down the embankment.
The scene in the cars cannot be described.
Without premonition the cars were
crushed. the occupants hauled against
the side or buried so deeply in the debris
that death seemed certain. The train
